More on Iranian President Ahmadinejad....

There's been a lot of denials from Iranians that President Ahmadinejad was one of the kidnappers of American diplomats. But, here's an interesting opinion...

Former Iranian president Abholhassan Bani-Sadr, who lives in exile outside Paris, told The Associated Press on Friday that Ahmadinejad "wasn't among the decision-makers but he was among those inside the Embassy."

Bani-Sadr said Ahmadinejad was responsible for briefing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on the hostage situation.

"One of his roles ... was to inform Mr. Khomeini of what was happening at the Embassy," Bani-Sadr said in a telephone interview.

Hajjarian denied those allegations as well.

Bani-Sadr said the new Iranian president was initially opposed to the hostage-taking but, according to his information, changed his mind once Khomeini gave his agreement.

Hajjarian said Ahmadinejad believed the then-Soviet Embassy, not the U.S. Embassy, should have been taken.

"Ahmadinejad believed that the great Satan is the Soviet Union and that America was the smaller Satan," he said.

And, now there are allegations that Ahmadinejad was involved other crimes.

The Austrian newspaper Der Standard quoted a top official with Austria's Green Party Peter Pilz as saying authorities have "very convincing" evidence linking Ahmadinejad to the 1989 slaying of Kurdish politician Abdul-Rahman Ghassemlou and two associates by providing weapons to the Iranian commandos who shot them.

Ghassemlou was secretary-general of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan and was in Vienna for secret talks with envoys from the Tehran regime.
